Well, Its Official!!

celia, Ok.its 38 all together. but only 22 since surgery on 10/24. Can I still have the title? willby

Willby, Since 38 lbs is the size of a 4 yr old, I say no!!! Of course, I'm evil. I want to lose it all right now too. I've never been good at waiting around for things. When I saw my doc at 2 weeks post op he told me he expected me to be down 80 lbs when I see him at the end of 12 weeks. I think that's why I'm working out so much. I have only 7 weeks to lose the rest of the 80 lbs (I'm down 35). How in the heck am I supposed to lose 45 more lbs in 7 weeks??? That's !!!!!! I'm in awe of those that have lost 50 lbs in the first few weeks! I just doesn't seem possible. Sheryl

Sheryl Good for you!!! I'm no good with the patience thing either. I WANT IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! But its not like we have a choice in the matter. Thanks for the post!! willby

Only 22 since surgery on 10/24? That's exactly how much I have lost, my surgery was 10/25. 22 lbs is a LOT! Though, considering how little food we can consume, I swear, I don't eat enough to keep a bird alive, I feel like I should lose 2 lbs per day. That being said, my doctor says I'm doing great. I'm trying to keep my focus on the long term, i.e. where will my weight be five years or 15 years from now? Hang in there, Willby! You're doing just fabulous! Sheryl

Sheryl, I know..........I feel SO deprived!!! Thanks for the advice! willby

willby I'm right there with you S-L-O-W-E-S-T LOSER as well. I lost 13 the first 10 days after surgery and when I went for my one month (Nov. 17th) I had only lost 7 more (that was 21 days), I've lost total 20 in a month and thats where I'm stuck at right now. I am a lightweight tho, day of surgery I was 229. Melissa Day of surgery: 229 Now: 208

Hey Melissa Isnt it frustrating when you feel like youve lost 50 pounds and they tell you its only 7 or 10 or 12? Makes me want tosomeone. My weight on the day of surgery was 311...now I'm at 289. (wanted to be 189 by xmas!) take care willby
